20221128: today’s reconstruction is almost the last of the classic space sets. this is 6970: Beta-1 Command Base. it was definitely a neat build that didn’t take too much time but I seriously have concerns about a lot of their safety issues. for instance: the shuttle has two rockets where the passengers sit between them with zero protection. also, this isn’t like a safe shuttle at all, as there’s also nothing to prevent the passengers from floating right off into space (if they survive getting off the ground and aren’t thrown out behind the rockets to be instantly incinerated). at least the terminal has steps to get up and down from the platform and at least the front of the passenger car has a guard rail (though nothing to prevent them from falling off sideways). I suppose in a situation with limited gravity, you wouldn’t worry too much about people plummeting to their deaths but the station itself also doesn’t have any atmospheric protection, which means they should not be taking off their helmets to enjoy beverages, as implied by the mug on the table. overall? a fun build to inspire good creativity but not a design to mimic for real-life space travel :D
